Hung a guy at Nuremburg for doing this, FYI. Not "a thing like this" but literally this, exactly.

It occurs to me that it's been a LOOOONG time since the US was up against armed forces equivalent to theirs, and even longer since the people conducting their troops weren't venal, manchild idiots
But that the US media doesn't understand you send planning officers first is deeply telling on itself

Most US media is downplaying this by talking about how few soldiers were sent to Greenland yesterday by the Nordic countries, but omits the fact that they’re all planning officers, preparing first for a large exercise followed by long term stay by a larger force.
The Danish foreign minister, coming out of a meeting with the Americans: "It's clear that the president has this wish of conquering Greenland."
I don't think that people have quite measured the severity of what is happening nor the intensity of the required response.

Dad almost ran Seal over when he walked out between parked cars
Crossed a road in front of an angry Jeremy Beadle in his car.
Entered a service station urinal at the same time Morrisey was leaving it.

Once when we wanted to show the ineffectual dithering of The Good Place Committee, we had one of them say, "There are rules, procedures. This is The Good Place -- we can't just *do stuff.*" We almost didn't include it, because we thought it was a little on the nose.
WELKER: Massie and Khanna say they are looking at options including impeachment and contempt for DOJ officials. Would you support those steps?
KAINE: I think that's premature

Look, it's not important, not at all, but it gave me great joy to watch episode 7 of #pluribus and note the Inigo Montoya #princessbride reference, in this week of all weeks. Bless you, Vince Gilligan

Staying informed in 2025:
I've never been bothered to look this nonsense up: that Richmond swimming baths closed down their slides because of razorblades shoved through them. I've even known older kids who claimed to know the culprit.
Whereas I do actually know who set fire to the school gym. Everyone had that wrong

Fence #26 will be a special on all things print, and in tribute to the storied history of the UK gutter press, our letters page wants your GOSSIP & SCANDAL.
So, we're asking you all: what was the most scandalous (true or false) bit of gossip that dominated your school or neighbourhood growing up?

Writing an hour of comedy that's charming, cohesive and brutally biting is rare. To do it in the space of a couple of weeks is an actual miracle. This is a set that should take a year to be this good. You'll not regret watching it. What a talent.

if you took a dementia test and thought it was an IQ test you failed both the dementia test and the IQ test
Trump: "AOC -- look. I think she's very nice. But she's very low IQ, and we really don't need low IQ. Between her and Crockett, we're gonna give 'em both an IQ test to see who comes out best. I took a real test at Walter Reed medical center and I aced it. Now it's time for them to take a test."

Of all realities, we are where Arnold Schwarzenegger sends an email newsletter explaining research into "cognitive debt" in relation to the use of AI and its detrimental effect on the user's ability to think independently... I'm glad it's happening but I'd have lost a bet 10yrs ago if you'd told me

I finally got around to watching M during lockdown. It is not the movie you expect. In fact, it races through about five genres (horror, chase, police procedural, heist, courtroom drama) so deftly, and Lorre is extraordinary. Fritz Lang showing off in the best way.

It’s Peter Lorre’s birthday.
M is a masterpiece & his acting in this scene is ridiculously powerful as he is put on ‘trial’ by Berlin’s criminal underworld. youtu.be/jUDUbxsNjV0?...
